All the obvious things I guess.
An ereader is a slippery hard plastic tablet looking device, which looks and feels nothing like a book. A decent cover can improve things of course, but they aren't builtin and often hard to find the right one that imitates a hardcover at least.

A really nice ereader, would be softer and hide all but the screen, having the device embedded in a more ascetically pleasing medium. You would have a sturdy left and right, that allows holding comfortably and safely with one hand.

Most of all, a book, paperback at least, has a nice artwork (color) cover, and a title on the spine, with a blurb on the back, or inside flap of a hardcover.

That makes it very very different to an ereader device currently.
